River Valley Baptist Association
A Family and partnership of 24 churches doing more together than we can do alone.
Bringing together our prayers and our resources to build the kingdom of God in northwest Arizona. Providing opportunities for churches to be "on mission" together.
A progressive strategy for the future using an Associational Strategy Team with equal representation from all our churches. Our strategy prioritizes the areas of church planting, church strengthening, missions awareness and involvement, and mission projects.
Our missionary, Tommy Thomas, has served our area for over 13 years. For more information about "on mission" opportunities call 928-753-9262 or visit us online at www.rvba.net
